Preamble

(cf. Mandell, P.R. 1994. The Effects of Land Use Changes on Water Quality of Urban Lakes in the Halifax/Dartmouth Region. Dalhousie University. 170p.)

For the above thesis:

Supervisor: Prof. Bill Freedman PhD, Biology Dept., Dalhousie University

Readers:

Nelson Watson PhD, Freshwater & Anadramous Division, DFO
S.J. Farmer PhD, Freshwater & Anadramous Division, DFO

Paul Mandell was an experienced biologist on contract with the Federal DFO before he went back to conduct his graduate study at Dalhousie Biology Department. Indeed, one of the founding members of our scientific group, the Soil & Water Conservation Society of Metro Halifax (SWCSMH), the now deceased Prof. Dr. Gordon Ogden III, an Yale doctorate and professor at the Dalhousie Biology Department for decades, gave high accolades Mandell's concepts at the Government workshop on the Draft Nova Scotia Environment Act on April 14, 1994!

Mandell's thesis was indeed donated to us by Prof. Gordon Ogden III PhD of Dalhousie University!
